STAGE 1

Any one want to guess on how the Green Edge team is going to survive with the AC broken in their bus?  That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.   Lots of crashes today with several of our team riders hitting the pavement, it looks like no one was hurt too seriously with the exception of Tony Martin who has a suspected broken collar bone.  

Team Bummies opened their account spectacularly with Marcel Kittel filling in for Peter Sagan who was stuck back in the crash.
